Anyone Built any HUGE enclosures?

[watertiger21]

Has anyone built any HUGE frog enclosures? I've always dreamed of building an "indoor rainforest" sort of enclosure for adult whites tree frogs ... something really big, such as a 6 feet tall x 4 feet long x 3 feet deep sort of thing. It'd have live plants, a pond at the bottom, a misting system, several feeding stations, etc. Just curious to know if it's been done, and if so, how'd it turn out?

The only part I'm worried about is whether the size of the enclosure would be practical in terms of trying to keep track of the frogs themselves. Would they have problems finding food? Should I worry about not being able to find them every day?

Thanks!

That would be really cool to do a rainforest setup. I would personally like to get a 6Lx3Wx3H and upgrade my local western PA 75 Gallon Vivarium. I would some day love to have a Vivarium of this in the size of a small room like 8-12 L x 6-12 W x 8-12 H. That would be awesome. I have thought about it already, to have a real mini woods. I think you would have a better chance at the rain forest with the small put together showers from lowe's. I think they are that size and they are easily put together. I really believe that a hungry whites will find food. These tree frogs are very determined at finding food. You might have to train the frogs when you bring food so they learn the feeding pattern and know to hunt. Whites are always moving so you would probably find them easier than you think.
